WISSOTA Late Models Return To Fox Ridge
(March 4, 2006) – FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY owners Dave Hesch and Jeff Reglin are
pleased to announce that the Speedway applied for, and was granted, Late Model
sanctioning for the 2006 season from the WISSOTA Sanctioning Body. This means
that racing fans and competitors alike will once again be able to revel at the
thunder of Late Model action on a regular basis at FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY
throughout 2006!
“We are extremely excited about bringing the Late Models back to FOX RIDGE
SPEEDWAY for the 2006 season,” said Hesch, a former winning Late Model
driver himself, “It is our plan to present some of the best racing action in
the area to our loyal racing fans; and with the addition of the Late Models to
our existing divisions, we feel that racing fans of all sorts will be able to
enjoy an excellent season of on-track action!”
Numerous Late Model drivers, car owners and fans had approached Hesch during
the ’04 and ’05 seasons enthusiastically voicing their desires to once
again see the track host late model races on a weekly basis. After a
successful showing of the division at the “THUNDER AT THE RIDGE” special
event in October of ’05, Hesch decided that the timing and climate were
perfect for a return to FOX RIDGE of the Premier Dirt-Track Motorsports
division in all of America!
With the official sanctioning agreement, FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY has agreed to
schedule at least 12 events, which is the minimum amount of races to allow the
Late Model drivers to run for WISSOTA track point fund money, for the 2006
season. If 2006 proves to be a success for the class, a full schedule will be
offered in 2007.
The nights that the Late Models will not be scheduled to run at FOX RIDGE
SPEEDWAY during the 2006 season will be so as to not conflict with other
tracks which have special events on Friday nights thus allowing the Late Model
drivers to compete at those events with out losing track points at FOX RIDGE
SPEEDWAY.
The tentative 2006 schedule for FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY (available at the OFFICIAL
FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY web site – www.foxridgespeedway.com)
consists of planned on-track excitement from: WISSOTA Late Models, USRA
Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, WISSOTA Street
Stocks, & 4-Cylinder Hornets.
The scheduled 2006 purse for the Late Model class at FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY will
be consistent with other tracks in the area.
